Bitsy Button Sutton
I knew the day would come when we had to say goodbye to our sweet Bitsy. But time caught all of us by surprise this week, as she went into severe kidney failure. We couldn’t turn it around. We said goodbye to her yesterday, and she died in my arms. I would have gone with her if I could have.
She was our companion, a best friend and she gave us unconditional love. I feel so empty now that she is gone, like my heart has been hollowed. I see her everywhere.
Chelsea and Mooch were her friends and I know the house must feel empty for them too. When we came home without her, Chelsea walked all around the outside of the car sniffing.
Bitsy was a gift to us from heaven, and I’m so grateful for the time we had with her. She taught us so much. You can read about her here.
I hope the tears will stop in a few days, and my heart will fill with memories of her. For those of you who have been through the death of a pet, I know you understand the feeling.
Bitsy has her wings now and I hope she’s learning to use them well. I will miss her so much.
Hugs to each of you who have ever lost a pet.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dog of 15 years in September and it did take a few days for the tears to stop. I understand what you are going through. I clicked over and read Bitsy’s story and it brought tears to my eyes. She was very fortunate to have been found by your husband and you and I can tell that your feel very fortunate to have had her in your life. I hope you feel better soon. Give your other pets lots of pats on the head.

Im crying right along with you! You were an amazing mom to her and she is looking down smiling on you!. I lost my cat Opus 8 years ago Nov3. I still cry when I think of him as I raised him from a tiny kitchen and he was my companion for 14 years! The good ones are always with us!
